After InstallValidate should definitely work for a major upgrade. If that 2.4 version is not installed then you may have that MSI bug, especially if the file is in the GAC or SxS http://support.microsoft.com/kb/905238 and see if a repair restores the file.
Anyway, take a verbose log and search for the file name and its component id. There are more routine possible issues, such as the component id being inadvertently shared with something, and hopefully the Dll is marked as key path. --------------- Phil Wilson On Mon, Nov 24, 2014 at 3:39 AM, Klaus Gütter <klaus.guet...@it-gmbh.de> wrote: > Hello, > > I have the following situation: MyProduct version 1.1 uses ThirdPartyDll > version 2.5.
